No it isn't logical to put it in another file or in extensions.conf.
extensions.conf is JUST your dialplan. You define your users via the
channel configurations. Just as the question that started this thread,
they want to make these definitions based on who is in a specific room.
This is only possible when you define the access to the device just like
you define the voicemailbox.
